Thou shall not commit adultery

Pleasure after all is God's invention, not Satan's.

~ C. S. Lewis

The seventh commandment, "Thou shall not commit adultery," is God's call to chastity, faithfulness and fidelity. Beyond merely just abstaining from sexual contact outside of marriage, this commandment mandates both respect for sex and marriage as well as faithful motives and actions in all things.

Regarding the seventh commandment, in his sermon notes, Rick Bartosik, pastor of Mililani Community Church, wrote the following:

God intended human sexuality not just so that married couples might populate the earth but also that they might enjoy the riches of the deepest and most intimate level of personal and pleasurable communication possible. …

• Song of Solomon (a graphic description in the Bible of uninhibited delight of married lovers).
• Hebrews 13:4 ("the marriage bed is undefiled" – meaning there should be no shame in the expression of our sexuality within marriage. Sex is not bad; it is good! But the verse goes on to say, "but fornicators and adulterers God will judge").
• 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (Here God commands husbands and wives to be responsive to each others sexual needs).

While the above analysis is informative and biblical, it is unremarkable. Let's go deeper.

Exhibit 1: President Barack Obama. During my entire series on the Ten Commandments, I have used Obama and his policies as a case study not to judge the man. (God knows you couldn't pay me enough to be president during these perilous times.) However, I use Obama as a metaphor for us to turn the mirror upon ourselves to critically analyze the aphorism, People get the leaders they deserve. As painful as it is to admit it, nevertheless it is true. In other words, if we want better leaders, we've got to return to God and become better citizens.

Because we live in an Orwellian Age of doublespeak and tyranny where perverse demagogues, with the help of the propaganda media, can manipulate the masses at will to believe virtually anything they wish them to believe, it is becoming difficult for Christians, conservatives, critical thinkers and patriots to have freedom of speech without being maligned by the government. A case in point is the thousands of tea parties that took place across America on Tax Day (April 15). Virtually every news account of this event except from the alternative media like WND, conservative talk radio and Fox News, characterized these peaceful political demonstrations of free speech rights as lawless, treasonous mobs.

When red-blooded Americans cannot exercise their First Amendment rights which part says: "The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances," then the government is prohibiting lawful and faithful actions. In my opinion, the government is committing political adultery.

Radio host and conservative intellectual Michael Savage, on his very informative website, a year ago cited what he saw as the first 10 of Obama's executive orders should he be elected, based on the Democrat's campaign website:

• Obama enacts stronger "federal hate crimes legislation" to "reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice's Criminal Section."
• Obama creates "a fund to help people refinance their mortgages and provide comprehensive supports to innocent homeowners."
• Obama, following through on his pledge to "meet with the leaders of all nations, friend and foe," signs a non-aggression pact with the Hitler of Iran [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad].
• Obama doubles foreign aid to $50 billion to cut "poverty around the world in half by 2015."
• Obama removes our troops from Iraq, leaving a power vacuum filled by Iran.
• Obama enacts socialized medicine, destroying small businesses with taxes to pay for illegal-alien health care.
• Obama enacts amnesty for illegal aliens.
• Obama enacts legislation demanding carbon-friendly cars, hammering the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. car industry.
• Obama enacts laws to reinforce affirmative action by funneling money to "women and minority-owned businesses."
• Obama repeals the Bush tax cuts.
• Obama enacts the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to entrench the power of the homosexual lobby.

These are the 10 commandments of political adultery.

If you look at the magnificent legacy the Constitution's framers bequeathed to all Americans 232 years ago, on Sept. 17, 1787, when the Constitution was drafted, it was purposely infused with a Judeo-Christian foundation from beginning to end. Secondly, the Constitution was viewed as a sacred covenant, a suzerainty treaty, if you will, modeled after the biblical covenants between God and Adam, God and Noah, God and Abraham, God and David, etc. America's Constitution was, according to Thomas Hobbes, a "social contract" – a covenant between God, "We the People" and our government. The essence of the Constitution was captured in the words of one of the great Founding Fathers, John Adams, our second president: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

To many readers it may be a stretch to equate Obama's goals with political adultery, but I hope to convince some when you look at the original intent of the Constitution's framers and their insistence on an inseparability of law and morality. It is naked treason when you compare the framers' Natural law paradigm to the neo-Marxism of Obama. Moreover, Obama and his fascist minion's intent is to provoke a socialist revolution in the image of the father of communism, Karl Marx; to bring to its apotheosis his diabolical vision including the abolition of Christianity, private property, the free market, separation of powers and individual liberty.

Let us expand our understanding of God's seventh commandment, Thou shall not commit adultery, to include a strong prohibition not only against sex outside of marriage, but on a deeper level to forsake all political polices outside of the original intent of the Constitution's framers, for to abandon this constitutional commandment is to commit the sin of political adultery.
